It is not uncommon for people to lie to others about their weight.
A woman from Michigan uses a different approach – she has repeatedly lied to herself until she lost weight. It takes advantage of the insidious mind of the mind, a technique supported by experts.
In a viral Tiktok with nearly 4 million views, content creator Liha Ureel revealed how he uses self -deception to cut his waist successfully.

“I refine myself to lose 40 pounds, just pretending to be already lean,” she explained.
UREEL applies a subconscious literature, which claims that you can effectively “lure” your brain wants to do things that you did not want to do through visualization exercises.
UREEL credits the method not only for helping itself to throw tens of pounds – but also for convincing itself that it loves to clean the house after it is “messy” for years.
“What really got me is that the body will convince the mind that maybe the hobbies you like are active hobbies,” she said. “It’s really fake as you do.”
Gas Light can get a bad rap-but Dr. Megan Garcia-WEB, an obesity expert in the MD of the gravity of medicine, believes that this type of psychological exercise can be surprisingly effective.
“The term” gas lights “has negative connotations, but I am whole-consistent that this is possible,” said Garcia-Wueb, who also hosts the YouTube Medicine Series with Dr. Megan, “The Post told.

“What she is talking about is a concept that we discuss in training all the time, which perceives the thinking of someone who already has the desired result and essentially to turn it,” added Garcia-WEB. “This purposefully creates a change in identity.”

“So, if you want to lose weight, what are the habits you do at your goal you don’t do now? What does your day look like? How do you act at work, at parties, at night when you get home?” Garcia-WEB is thinking.
Instead of doing everything you want to do – do what you want to do.
“The better the idea you have from who this future version of yourself is and what it does, the more you can overcome the gap between who you are now and who you want to be,” she said. “The more you start living,” as if “you are this person, the easier it is to become it. You give your brain the card.”
So there is a method of madness, but Garcia-WEB warns that there are also potential pitfalls, health.
“Of course, depending on your sources, this can have positive or negative consequences for your health,” she said.
“If one thinks that the version of the purpose of themselves has a significant addiction to caffeine or greatly restricts calories, it will not be good for their overall health, even if they lose weight. So it is important to pull away and think if these habits would actually be healthy and resilient.”
As such, she recommends visualizing someone who is more healthy in a more fully manner instead of concentrating on the numbers on a scale.
“I like to frame it a little as an identity at a certain weight and more identity of your most healthy self,” she said. “When we put it this way, it is an identity that is 100% achievable through our actions and does not depend on a particular scale number.”
